1 am reminded of Milton the outer
world shut out; but his soul stored
with the riches Of thought; and Of blind
old Homer, of whom it has been said i:
"Seven cities warred for Homer being dead;
Who living, had no roof to shroud his head
Yet poverty could not drain, nor scorn
of men impair the noble treasury upon
which the world has been drawing for
inspiration ever since. Penury, dis
grace and blindness did not leave these
two noble souls destitute. 1t is a sad
spectacle to see genius in rags, or a
majestic mind in a decrepit body. But
sadder than this, is puny spirit sur
rounded with all this world affords of
opportunity, yet tdestitute of knowledge,
with no mental or moral appetite for
that table Of truth, those stores of wis
dom which God sets before US.
These are the dull November days.
The frosts have done their work. The
leaves are all dead. The old tree stands
stripped and spectral against the steely
gray of the sky, only the ghost of its
former self. All my Joy and pride in it
would be gone if did not know that
time will re-clOthe it in beauty. Under
its rough exterior there is a warmth,
tender life waiting to come forth. Not
long hence the spring breezes will WOO
it, the sun will entreat it, the earth will
proffer it gentle ministries of growth,
and 1t will bloom again in all it's old
green garniture of joy. This morning
before the sun rose, when put aside
the curtain, saw, shining through the
brown and grotesque branches of my
stately monarch that splendid star, the
star of Bethlehem. There it was in
all its silvery CLEAN looking down upon
me and the sleeping world. Awe, rev.
erence and peace fell upon me and
filed my heart. l said, Goods in his
heaven, all's right with the world.'
Like the old tree humanity shall yet be
clothed upon with truth and righteous
ness when the Redeemer shall come to
Zion.

VAGRANT THOUGHTS.
BY REV. MARY j. DE LONG.
(Neenah, Wis.,

Across the street from the east win
dow Of my study is magnificent elm
tree. Every minister's study ought to
have an east window, and if possible,
an elm tree. During the summer this
colossal tree was full of rich, green
leaves whose shadow just reached my
window, and awoke me often with their
rustic in the early morning breeze.
Now its leaves are sere and yellow, and
before long, l know, that it must stand
in nay sight stripped and bare to its
very top. Its leaves will all be gone,
trampled into the mud of the street,
and its branches will all seem bare and
dead. But the tree will not be dead;
at heart it will be alive and sound. The
leaves for another summer are already
in their little cradles. 1t was partly
the new life pushing at the old leaf
stems that helped to crowd the beauti-
full foliage of last summer to its death,
and to shroud it in such magnificent
blaze of color for it's burial. The winds
of autumn and the storms of winter
will roar around the old monarch, and
lash its branches into fury; but the
baby leaves will lie safely tucked up in
their little cradles, and next spring,
when the advancing sun starts a new
warmth at the chilled heart, and the
sap begins to flow, they will come forth
to vigorous life, and the tree will be
green again.
So think, it may be sometimes with
a man. Adversely may come; the win
try blasts of fortune may strip him of
the accumulations of years of toll, and
leave him exposed on every side to the
storms of social excitement and fury,
but if his heart is sound, if, all the
time, behind the things he had and has
lost were treasured the resources of a
well-roOted, well-poised moral nature;
if that which is gone is only prophecy
of that which is to come; if under the
old are the pushing germs of the new,
the man is not hurt, the man himself is
not ruined. Nothing can ruin a man
but to be dead at heart. Out of the
heart are the issues of life. Only when
the heart is dead is the man really dead.
This leads to the thought of how many
dead men walk the streets, stand be-
hind the counters of trade, sit on the
judges bench, in the editors chair or
behind the pulpit. Dead men are to
be found engaged in all the manly avo-
cations of life. Because they carry on
business, heaping up money; because
they watch the cars run, the boats sail,
the spindles weave, the mill-stOnes
grind, they think they are alive, and
the world thinks they are alive. Be-
cause they see, and hear, and eat, and
sleep they think they live. No man
truly lives whose heart is dead. No
mans heart is alive in reality, except
in those vital essences whose roots reach
down to the living springs Of truth, to
feed on the rich juices which nourish
an immortal being. Many man whom
the world looks upon as a strong pillar
in society, is dead at heart; ali struck
through his moral nature with dry rot;
ready at the first struggle with great
temptation to come up by the roots.
While some plain man whom society
thinks it could well spare, who would
never be missed from the hurrying
crowds, may be the very man who is,

That Extravagant Carpet.

The city council objected to paying
for the handsome Brussels carpet
which the water superintendent
adorned his Office with. 1t cost $27.90,
and they considered IL n piece Of cx-
travagance they could not approve.
They said he ought to have got mat
ting, aud the idea Of buying Brussels
was an unheard-of extravaganza! The
council forgets that sometime, the
purchasing OF a good article is cheaper
than poor one. The councils right
eous indignation over a $279J Brus-
sells carpet is rather thin. Admitting
that the superintendent should have
purchased cheaper article. the differ
ence would be so slight that the dura-
biity Of the Brussels won d overcome
the difference in price; but cheap, eco
monte clap-trap at somebody elsc's
expense will make II vote, perhaps,

THE ATLANTA.
Firing Of the Heavy Guns IN Target
Practice.

New YORK, July 20.-The Sun
says: Private letters from an officer
and a nachinist on board of the new
steel cruiser Atlanta to friends in the
Brooklyn navy-yard say that during
the target practice in farmers bay
day before yesterday the eight-inch
bow and stern barbette pivot guns
recoiled with such force as to tear
loose the tracks on which they turn
and also to rip up a portion of the
heavy gun deck. These guns are the
heaviest guns aHoat in the service and
those on the Atlanta are the first of
them to be tested ON board ship by
our naval officers. Just how serious
the damage is could not be learned.
No official report of it has reached the
navy.yard. The officers of the Bos-
ton are anxious to know the exact
facts regarding the occurrence. The
Boston is a sister ship of the Atlanta
and the tracks of her eight-inch guns
are laid in the same way. Her guns
are not yet on board. The letters
say that the damage was done by a
charge Of ninety pounds of powder
The tracks will have to be much
more secure to withstand the recoil
produced by a full charge of 12O
pounds of powder. During the firing
a live sheep was used to ascertain
how near men must stand to the
muzzle of the great guns when they
are fired without being killed by the
conclusion. At one discharge, the
letters say, the sheep was blown clear
over hatchway and killed. Officers
on the Boston think this must have
been done to ascertain whether an
eight-inch gun can be safely worked
while a siX-inch gun next it is being
fired almost across the eight-inch
guns track.

sAvED FROM SUICIDE.
A Mysterious Young Woman Rescued
on the Brink of Niagara's
Great Catnract

NIAGARA FALLS, June 28.-Great
interest has been Occasioned here by
the strange actioassF0f a tall blonde
young woman of prepossessing ap.
pearance who late yesterday after
noon made an etfectual attempt tC
cast herself over the cataract. Ten
days ago she asked for and obtained
work as a chambermaid at the Inter
national hotel. She did not appear
as If she was used to service, and was
fashionably dressed and seemingly
well educated. She complained be-
cause she was obliged to sleep in a
room with other servants, but other
wise uttered no word of discomfort.
On Friday gentlemanly-appearing
young man called on her, and after
his departure she appeared strangely
detected.
AT 4 O'clock yesterday afternoon
she suddenly announced to the girls
upstairs that she had decided to kill
herself by jumping into the river,
and offered them such of her effects
as they desired to take. She left the
hotel at once, and on the way to the
river asked Bartender Hanna, of the
Casino, If bodies going over the
American Falls were ever recovered.
He question her enough to believe
that she really meant to kill herself,
and then having hurriedly informed
the police, with a friend from Buffalo
started after her. They overlook her
on Goat Island. When she saw them
approaching she threw her bag into
the river and attempted to follow it.
She was seized and taken to the Office
of Chief of Police Baker. She de-
clined to give any account of her.
self, but latter told the officers that
her name was Mrs. Claud Darlington;
that she was widow and had two
children. She said that she recently
arrived in America FROM Belgium.
From letters found at the hotel,
however, it appears that she is Miss
A. Whitley, a daughter of the vicar
of st. Paul's, Hallowell, Northbolton,
Lancashire, England. In a letter to
her brother she spoke of an engage
ment to marry a DR.. Shaw, and re-
ferred to herself as the black sheep of
the family. From what she has
since said it appears that she was de-
ceived in her lover, and having met
him and ascertained that he had de
cided to jilt her, had no desire to live
longer. She is now at the home of
Police Justice Cromley, who has
taken an interest in her.

One of the vanities of some men,
and a costly one too, is an ambition
to be thought good Judge of horse
flesh. Jockeys taking advantage of
this vanity, often turn the silly self
conceit to their own advantage. Mr..
Gleason, professor of Horse-train-
ing,p whose skill in subduing obdur-
ate animals is extraordinary, gives
good advice to buyers.
He advises to never select a horse
having long ears, lined inside with
long straight hair.
DO not buy one that is narrow be-
tween the eyes; or that has fiat
round eyes, in sunken orbits, and
nostrils short and thick /; for he will
certaiuly prove beast of small INTEL
ligence, hard to teach, incapable of
remembering, and liable to be obsti-
nate, just as stupid persons are.
Do not buy the horse that Is narrow
at top of the head, bulging between
the eyes, and has a sunken dish like
face between them, for be is sure to
be treacherous.
But take the horse that has short
ears, with short curly hair inside
them; that is broad between the ears
and eyes, with irregular straight face,
and large, thin nostrils; for in him
you will find an intelligent, spirited,
yet willing servant and faithful
friend, II treated rightly.
